Chapter 434 Untitled
"Is this sweet potato?"

In the first place, the emperor held a dark object in his hand, and looked at it repeatedly.

"Return to the emperor, this is a sweet potato. What you are holding in your hand is untreated after being dug out from the ground."

Saluting to the emperor, Su Jingxuan answered for him, what he knew was what Su Jingan told him.

"Oh? What will it look like after it's been processed?" Still holding it in his hand, the emperor looked at him.

"Please ask the emperor to fetch two basins of water." The so-called after treatment refers to after cleaning.

The black lacquered lump in the emperor's hand, after being cleaned by Su Jingxuan, revealed the original sweet potato, with a purplish red skin.

He also asked the emperor to send someone to bring a small knife, and Su Jingxuan peeled off the skin to reveal the almost golden inside.

"How do I eat this thing?" The emperor became more and more interested when asked to wash the thing in his hand.

"Back to the emperor, it can be eaten raw or steamed. It can also be cut into small pieces and boiled with round-grained rice. The taste is also excellent, and it can be made into dishes."

"In addition, it can also be used to make sugar. The leaf stalks that grow on the ground can be used to feed pigs. There is no place that is not practical."

Although he knew this, Su Jingxuan hadn't eaten it yet. After thinking about it, he opened his mouth and took a bite of the sweet potato in his hand.

Hearing the sound was quite crisp, everyone looked at him in surprise, and after seeing him swallow, the smile on his face deepened, "Your Majesty, I have tasted it, the raw sweet potato tastes slightly sweet, and it is not unpalatable." .”

As he said so, the emperor ordered Fu Lu to get a piece for himself, and took a small bite.

"Well, it's really not bad, but it has a different flavor." Nodding his head, he asked Fulu to bring the people from the Shangshanfang over. After Su Jingxuan explained how to steam it, the servants from the Shangshanfang brought a few Sweet potatoes left.

"What do you think?" Looking at the people in the hall, the emperor asked.

The ministers just looked at it, but failed to taste it, so naturally they couldn't say anything.

So, the emperor asked people to wash and cut the other sweet potatoes, and each of them shared a small piece.

The emperor ate it all, how dare they refuse, they tasted the taste of raw sweet potatoes one after another.

It was much more delicious than they expected.

"My son-in-law, is this sweet potato really as amazing as you said?" After eating raw sweet potatoes, a minister asked Su Jingxuan, obviously, he was the one who knew the most.

"Really, you have seen the sweet potatoes I brought, there are more than a dozen."

"Although the harvest in various places is not good, these sweet potatoes are grown in the south of the Yangtze River, but the harvest is good, which shows that they are not so picky about the weather and the fields."

"These more than a dozen fruits are only grown under three sweet potato stalks. So, sir, can you believe it?"

"What? There are so many sweet potatoes, and only three plants?" The minister who asked widened his eyes in disbelief.

"Speaking of which, God helped me. When my younger sister Jing'an went to Jiangnan, His Highness the Seventh Highness inadvertently said that he had seen a kind of grain in a book, which was very high-yield, and my sister remembered it in her heart."

"There is a pier in the south of the Yangtze River, and foreigners often come and go. They brought sweet potatoes, and my sister happened to meet them. She thought about trying it. Unexpectedly, it really became a success."

"A sack of sweet potatoes used as seeds and harvested fruit is enough to save many people from starvation."

These rhetoric were discussed at the princess mansion. After all, when she entered the palace yesterday, Su Jing'an directly distributed part of the credit to Pei Junyi.

Today, just let other people know, and when the news comes back from all over the world, more people will know.
